Lyrics

1. IN VENERE VERITAS

Let's fall apart together now

Zip and keep it in a body bag well warm
Next to the mausoleum he was born in
Picking up the pieces of this gory glory of it all
Bereave to mourn
Bereave to mourn

Have no fear
There are wounds that are not meant to heal
And they sing, in venere veritas
Come inside
Let the bother you alive
And sing, baby sing
There are wounds that are not meant to heal at all
In venere veritas

Let's fall apart together now

There's a motive to our sadness as we drag the mirrored ball and chain
Through the twilight again
Dressed up in shame

Have no fear
There are wounds that are not meant to heal
And they sing, in venere veritas
Come inside
Let the bother you alive
And sing, baby sing
There are wounds that are not meant to heal at all
In venere veritas

Begging for reflection of a ??
Find and chase us over the edge

Have no fear
There are wounds that are not meant to heal
And they sing, in venere veritas
Come inside
Let the bother you alive
And sing, baby sing
There are wounds that are not meant to heal at all
In venere veritas
These are the wounds that are not meant to heal at all

Let's fall apart together now
Let's fall apart together now


2.SCARED TO DEATH

In the biblical sense and sensibility
Let me know you
I'll kiss that smile off your face
Just say when

I'm not afraid to say 'I love you'
Any more than I used to be, babe
I am scared to death, I am scared to death
To fall in love

All these people blast from hell
Ice break is infernal
From a heart so black and blue
Only for you

(Just say when, again)

I'm not afraid to say "I love you"
Any more than I used to be, babe
I am scared to death, I am scared to death
To fall in love
With you

I'm not afraid to say "I love you"
Any more than I used to be, babe
I am scared to death, I am scared to death
To fall in love

I'm not afraid to admit I adore you
Any more than I was before, babe
I am scared to death, I am scared to death
To fall in love
With you

With you...

Scared to death...

I'm scared to death..

And you're sweet like poison...


3. HEARTKILLER

Farewell heartless world,
I'll send you a postcard burnt,
In flames You've tried so hard to extinguish with the fear of failing,
I'll write down everything I have learned,
And edit it down to a single word,
Love
For you I'm waiting, anticipating

Sparks will fly,
Beneath the luna alight,
Lazarus at Frankenstein's,
Babe I'll be a,
Flatliner for a ,
Heartkiller
A little we die,
Above the lesser light,
For you I'm open wide,
Babe I'll be a,
Flatliner for a,
Heartkiller

Heartkiller

Top hats off to the return,
Of the beat to lick a wound to,
Cursed for some and blessed for a few,
It doesn't have to make any sense at all,
Come Hither and we'll fall,
In love
For
Love
I'm crawling out of patience baby

Sparks will fly,
Beneath the luna alight,
Lazarus at Frankenstein's,
Babe I'll be a,
Flatliner for a ,
Heartkiller
A little we die,
Above the lesser light,
For you I'm open wide,
Babe I'll be a,
Flatliner for a,
Heartkiller

Paint all your sorrows for me to sing
Hearkiller
Draw your pain and hear me hum it out

Sparks will fly,
Beneath the luna alight,
Lazarus at Frankenstein's,
Babe I'll be a,
Flatliner for a ,
Heartkiller
A little we die,
Above the lesser light,
For you I'm open wide,
Babe I'll be a,
Flatliner for a,
Heartkiller
Heartkiller
Heartkiller

Babe I'll be a,
Flatliner for a,
Heartkiller

Babe I'll be a,
Flatliner for a,
Heartkiller


4. DYING SONG

I've seen you breathed life into the weakest of hearts,
And you scream at the sweetest poem,

Eco accros the ocean in night
We knew why I still try,
To all though due what ever is left of you and I,

Sharing skin to a dying song,
We hold on to the evening sun to be on our war,
We will dance to a dying song,
Sound a lot like life,

I've seen these dreams be crushed by a single thought,
And at the end these saddening duff fall of,
Buried alife under eyes by it's changing size,
With tomorrow quivering in the loneliest lights,

Sharing skin to a dying song,
We hold on to the evening sun to be on our war,
We'll dance to a dying song,
Sound a lot like - life and love,
Life and love,
Will you

Come back into bed tomorrows trembling
At the sights of you and I,

Sharing skin to a dying song
We hold on to the evening sun to be on our war,
We'll dance to a dying song,
Sound a lot like -- life and love,
Life and love,
Life and love,
Life and love,

(Dying song )
Life and love,
(A dying song )
With you,
(A dying song )
With you,
(Dying song )
With you,
(Dying song )
With you,
Dying song


5.DISARM ME (WITH YOUR LONELINESS)

The promise of heaven pushed us right back to hell
Turn three sevens into three sixes again
And you laugh at my face when I told you how much it hurts And said

Disarm me with your loneliness just like always before and
Deceive me at my emptiness telling me how you love
You keep on tempting me to go on whatever the cost
To witness the prettiest flower in the wicked to dust
So ill break all the rules and this endless game once Called love for you

Disarm me with your loneliness just like always before and
Deceive me at my emptiness
Telling me how you love
Me with all your heart no more

Disarm me with your loneliness just like always before
Disarm me with your loneliness just like always before
Deceive me at my emptiness telling me how you love me with All your heart your heart no more

Tell me how much it hurts my love
Tell me how my kiss can change your world
No more
Tell me how much it hurts to be alone

Now believe that you hurt me with all your heart
No more


6. LOVE, THE HARDEST WAY

Love's like the eyes pelting teardrops in the rain
To the sound of chug bolts seem to play with nails
For what it's worth
I don't wanna see you hurt anymore
Than you have to

Dine on glass
Wine no more
Baby, love the harder way
Baudelaire in braille
Baby, love the harder way
Won't you lose yourself into
I promise you to love the hardest way

Would you like if I wrote till you want
In truth lie the last arrows of your soul
Only I'll react to free
Highlight the weep
Oh, no more
Unless you want

Dine on glass
Wine no more
Baby, love the harder way
Baudelaire in braille
Baby, love the harder way
Won't you lose yourself into
I promise you to love the hardest way
Love the hardest way
Love the hardest way
Love the hardest way


7. KATHERINE WHEEL

Low and behold baby, these are the things you make me do.
Katherine wheel I'm burning for you. I'm burning for you.

Come on and break me a limb at a time.
Wrap me around your spoke so tight.
There's no letting go.
Spin me around to blur the line between you and I.
What are you waiting for?

Low and behold baby, these are the things you make me do.
Katherine wheel I'm burning for you.
Please don't stop until my heart no longer screams Katherine wheel. Katherine wheel.

Holding hands won't be enough in a world giving to a hell to a god.
Love in theory and practice chapter one.

Low and behold baby, these are the things you make me do.
Katherine wheel I'm burning for you.
Please don't stop until my heart no longer screams Katherine wheel. Katherine wheel.

I twist and turn while your on swirl.
The dizzier I get the clearer I see.
With you I'm at peace with the wall within.


8. IN THE ARMS OF RAIN

Once again we found ourselves to be lost
Holding hands while straying from the path in the forest dark
Aren't you happy to see me crawl serpentine towards the sun to you

Lift the lid off your heart's casket in the arms of rain
Drift along this river of sadness 'til we feel no pain
Baby stop, hail Maries for the secret you get from me
Hail Maries but tomorrow's dream
In the arms of rain we are free

Again, I fought myself and lost
Come bite the apple and I'll crawl around your heart
I'm so happy to see you weep along in these arms you belong

Lift the lid off your heart's casket in the arms of rain
Drift along this river of sadness 'til we feel no pain
Baby stop, hail Maries for the secret you get from me
Hail Maries but tomorrow's dream
In the arms of rain we are free

Ave Maria we try
Ave Maria we cry
Ave Maria we cry

Lift the lid off your heart's casket in the arms of rain
Drift along this river of sadness 'til we feel no pain
Baby stop, hail Maries for the secret you get from me
Hail Maries but tomorrow's dream
In the arms of rain
Lift the lid off your heart's casket in the arms of rain
Drift along this river of sadness 'til we feel no pain
Baby stop, hail Maries for the secret you get from me
Hail Maries
In the arms of rain we are free

It's the end of a road? hold me?
It's the end of a road and we're free


9. ODE TO SOLITUDE

Easy on the eyes and easy on the heart
Sold my wish out
Sold my wish out with hope streaming to light
Shining bright eyed day to dream days
And I day to dream is gone what I wanna know is which makes you smile less

Here's to the pain, the light of the oncoming train
Come on
Ode to solitude in chains
Here's to the pain as always heaven in flames
That we've been
Ode to solitude in chains

Come out the scars of the heart
Wounds stand torn
Loosen the noose up
Loosen the noose with love
What I wanna know is why you keep me hangin

Here's to the pain, the light of the oncoming train
Come on
Ode to solitude in chains
Here's to the pain as always heaven in flames
That we've been
Ode to solitude in chains

If I should fail (and I will) to stay
Remember not to forget this feeling you have
I fail
Please pretend it'll never happen baby

Here's to the pain, the light of the oncoming train
Come on
Ode to solitude in chains
Here's to the pain as always heaven in flames
That we've been
Ode to solitude in chains

Here's to the pain, the light of the oncoming train
Come on
Ode to solitude in chains
Here's to the pain as always heaven in flames
That we've been
Ode to solitude in chains

Ode to solitude
Ode to solitude
Ode to solitude
Ode to solitude


10. SHATTER ME WITH HOPE

The girl who cried at love, won't you come and play with me?
You can be Cassandra, underneath the sword of Damocles
We'll tear this baby apart wise like Solomon
Run, come shatter me now
Shatter me with hope
Crawl, come breathe me in, bleed out sorrow
Scream me a dream, untouched by shadows
Baby, shatter me now, shatter me now
Shatter me with hope

She'll be the witness to the repose of Nevelen
Push the needle in
To the of canticles of ecstasy
Turn to page 43
And you'll know how I feel

Run, come shatter me now, shatter me with hope
Crawl, come breathe me in, bleed out all sorrow
Scream me a dream, untouched by shadows
Baby, shatter me now, shatter me now
shatter me with hope

Swear on your heart's grave, I'm wrong
And love like your life's depending on it
('Cause it is!)

We'll tear this baby apart, wise like Solomon
Turn to page forty three, and you'll know how I feel

Run, come shatter me now, shatter me with hope
Crawl, come breathe me in
Bleed out all sorrow

Scream me dream, untouched by shadows
Baby, shatter me now, shatter me now
shatter me with hope

Shatter me now, shatter me now, shatter me now
Oh, oh-u, oooh
Shatter me now, shatter me now, shatter me now
Oh, oh-u, oooh,Oh, oh-u, oooh
Scream me a dream.....!
(Shatter me now, shatter me now, shatter me now)
Scream me a dream.....!
(Shatter me now, shatter me now, shatter me now)


11. ACOUSTIC FUNERAL (FOR LOVE IN LIMBO)

You missed the winter and it followed you back home
Where sun kissed the crimson footsteps in the melting snow
We are doing our best to disown the golden mean
By disacts of cruelty in the name of beauty to be free

The acoustic funeral for love in limbo
We're dancing with tags on our toes
I saved my last breath for your window
To write you this song for the acoustic funeral

On the verge of a vow to kill all reason locking that door
To a nightmare within a nightmare we are bound to adore
Let the pleasure in the shape of a heart lie to me
And finally confirm all fears to be so real
Be so real

The acoustic funeral for love in limbo
We're dancing with tags on our toes
I saved my last breath for your window
To write you this song for the acoustic funeral

Underneath the ice so thin I am turning blue (I'm turning blue)
The one last thing I know to be real is the shadow of you
Killing love with a kiss

The acoustic funeral for love in limbo
We're dancing with tags on our toes
I saved my last breath for your window
To write you this song

The acoustic funeral for love in limbo
(The acoustic funeral for love in limbo)
We're dancing with tags on our toes
(We're dancing with tags on our toes)
I saved my last breath for your window
To write you this song for the acoustic funeral

Lest we have to fall
For the acoustic funeral

Killing love with a kiss


12. LIKE ST. VALENTINE

In the name of love lost I'm frozen to her and I want you to
come build me a bridge soaked in gasoline and pass the torch.

Hey baby let me be your Valentine, St. Valentine...
Suck the sorrow out of you and try to keep the lie alive.
Like St. Valentine

Like the couple from Pompei,
Our drama's put on display.
Along with a dove, stuffed
In a coffin of glass entitled
"Love, lust and the holy ghost".

Those were the days.

Hey baby let me be your Valentine, St. Valentine,
Suck the sorrow out of you and try to keep the lie alive.
Hey baby let me be your Valentine, St. Valentine,
Suck the sorrow out of you and try to keep a lie alive.
Like Saint Valentine.

Love's the only war worth dying for.
Build me up to knock me down, I'm all yours.

Hey baby let me be your Valentine, St. Valentine,
Suck the sorrow out of you and try to keep the lie alive.
Hey baby let me be your Valentine, St. Valentine,
Suck the sorrow out of you and try to keep a lie alive.
Like Saint Valentine.

Hey baby let me be your valentine, St. Valentine,
Hey baby let me be your valentine, St. Valentine,
Hey baby let me be your valentine, St. Valentine,
Hey baby let me be your valentine, St. Valentine,
Like Saint Valentine.


13. THE FOREBODING SENSE OF IMPENDING HAPPINESS

By your heartstrings I am hanging from a dream
Gently swinging in the warm autumn breeze

Come look at the scars
Smother a heart, opening up
Look at the scars
Smother a heart, opening up no more

Tip toeing along a strand of your hair suspended between
These thoughts and actions miles above reality

Come look at the scars
Smother a heart, opening up
Look at the scars
Smother a heart, opening up

Come look at the scars
Smother a heart, opening up
Look at the scars
Smother a heart, opening up
look at the scars
Smother a heart, opening up
Look at the scars
Smother a heart, opening up
(Look at the scars)

Opening up
Opening up
Opening up

Look at the scars
You open me up
Open me up

Smother a heart
opening up
opening up

Look at the scars
You open me up
Open me up
Open me up

(Look at the scars)
(Smother a heart)
(Opening up)
